“Beautifully Broken” : The lives of three families are intertwined by war. Bring a conscience.

“Papillon” : Charlie Hunnam stars as the protagonist, Henri “Papillon” Charrière, in this retold story of the man who escaped from a French penal colony. Remember Steve McQueen .

“Puzzle” : A suburban woman’s life takes a new turn when she discovers a talent for solving jigsaw puzzles. Start with the corners.

“2001: A Space Odyssey” (2D experience in IMAX): Stanley Kubrick’s classic 1968 sci-fi film will screen for the first time in IMAX format (at AMC River Park Square). HAL? HAL? Do you read me, HAL?

That’s the list. So go, see a movie. And enjoy.
